So I thought about calling this post The Day Dad ignored Google or The Day Trevor Navigated, but in the end I stuck with my boring state count title so I don't lose track of how many states we've visited. I'm finding that when you move around this much: days, hotels, and time zones all... Continue Reading →

Today we headed over the Ohio River into Cincinnati. Our destination was the William Howard Taft Historic Site. The boys completed the Jr. Ranger program. Trevor and I were blown away with Taft's life of continual civil service. The Rangers were super friendly and knowledgeable. The house, his childhood home, itself wasn't as cool as...

Blue Moon of Kentucky keep on shining. Yep, that's right, Kentucky the bluegrass state. We are in Kentucky for several days. We stopped for a potty break at the first rest area after crossing the state line. It was one of the nicest rest areas. The picnic area was like a park with tables, grills,... Continue Reading →

So with a successful trial run under our belt, we waited a few days and then headed out to Fort Mountain for our second trip. Fort Mountain is a state park and as such, just has standard water and electric sites. So we really had to be careful, with the tanks. The park was great!... Continue Reading →
